Answer:
Altitude
Step-by-step explanation:
An altitude of a triangle always extends from a vertex to the opposite base (side) of the triangle, and it is always at a right angle. It is also known as the "height".
-2x+9y=41.... equation 1
-2x-5y=1 ....equation 2
________________
14y=43
y=43/14
y=43/14 in equation 1
-2x+9(43/14)=41
-2x+387/14=41
-2x=41-387/14
-2x=187/14
x=187/-28
x=187/28 , y=43/14
if you want to check your answer
-2(187/28)+9(43/14)=41
Answer: The second quadrant
Example :
u have an endpoint at (6,5)......ad the midpoint is (4,2)....find the other endpoint.
midpoint formula : (x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2
one endpoint (6,5)....x1 = 6 and y1 = 5
other endpoint (x,y)...x2 = x and y2 = y
sub into the formula
m = (6 + x) / 2, (5 + y) / 2
okay, so the midpoint is (4,2)....so ur x value will equal 4
(6 + x) / 2 = 4...multiply both sides by 2
6 + x = 4 * 2
6 + x = 8
x = 8 - 6
x = 2 <==
midpoint is (4,2)....so the y value will equal 2
(5 + y) / 2 = 2 ...multiply both sides by 2
5 + y = 2 * 2
5 + y = 4
y = 4 - 5
y = -1 <==
so ur other endpoints are (2,-1)
